Why Choose the EliteBook 840 G8?

• 11th Gen Intel Core: i5-1135G7 (4-core, 8-thread, up to 4.2GHz) delivers notably faster single-thread and AI-accelerated performance over previous generations.
• Built-in 4G LTE + WiFi 6: Stay connected via mobile broadband (SIM required) or the latest WiFi 6 standard — faster, lower-latency wireless in crowded environments.
• Thunderbolt 4: Two Thunderbolt 4 ports support dual 4K displays, high-speed docks, and 40Gbps data transfers.
• MIL-STD-810H certified: Tested to the latest military standard for drop, dust, humidity, and temperature extremes.
• HP Wolf Security: HP Sure Start BIOS protection, Sure Click browser isolation, Sure View (on equipped models), and fingerprint + IR camera for Windows Hello.
• Windows 11 Pro: Full enterprise OS — BitLocker, Remote Desktop, Hyper-V, and domain join ready out of the box.

Performance in Use

The Core i5-1135G7 represents a significant step up from 8th/10th Gen Intel in both single-thread speed and AI workload acceleration (via Intel Xe neural engine). Microsoft 365, Teams, Chrome, and business apps all run with noticeably improved responsiveness. Intel Xe integrated graphics also handles Teams video background blur and light image editing without CPU overhead.

The dual Thunderbolt 4 ports enable one-cable docking — connect to a compatible dock and instantly get power, dual monitors, Ethernet, and USB peripherals through a single cable. This makes hot-desking and between-home-and-office transitions seamless.

Built-in 4G LTE means field workers, consultants, and frequent travellers are always online — no relying on café WiFi or phone tethering. WiFi 6 provides the fastest wireless throughput in compatible environments, reducing lag in video conferencing and large file transfers.
